DEGRAN BIOFILLERS LLP

In their own words

Degran Biofillers LLP is a sustainability-driven startup based in Chikmagalur, Karnataka, focused on developing next-generation biodegradable raw materials as alternatives to traditional plastics. Founded in 2025, Degran addresses the urgent environmental challenge posed by Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), which is widely used in packaging but remains non-biodegradable and environmentally harmful. Degran is pioneering compostable biofillers that eliminate the need for calcium-based additives—common in current biofiller formulations—which typically reduce transparency and biodegradability. By removing calcium as a major raw material, Degran enables the production of transparent, compostable bioplastics that can effectively compete with LDPE in real-world applications. This innovation supports industries such as food packaging, agricultural films, and single-use plastic alternatives. Strategically located near agro-industrial zones, Degran sources biodegradable inputs locally, ensuring affordability and scalability. The company is currently in the R&D phase, with a strong focus on validating product performance, regulatory compliance, and process compatibility with existing plastic manufacturing systems. With a vision to create materials that are both environmentally responsible and industrially viable, Degran Biofillers is building the foundation for a circular economy in India. The startup is actively seeking partnerships with plastic converters, compostable resin manufacturers, and sustainability-focused organizations to scale its impact and bring eco-friendly alternatives to market.
